Works for me, but my slides have only text and images.

so what the fuck is wrong with it then?
come on OP, fucking tell us!

I'm not even a freetard but I've noticed fans of proprietary software can never express exactly what they want, like women.

A little back and forth and not getting monkey pawed goes a long way

I'll give you the animations are pretty shit.
Some of them go at like 5fps or less.

I am not the OP but my hurdle with Impress is that it does not do very well with .OLE object integration.

Calc is also shit. Missing tons of features and can't render most of Excel Charts.

as long as you stick with open formats (as you should) libreoffice is great, good for most people.

There are many deficiencies with Impress. Its design incentivizes poor (common) slide design standards such as snazzy templating, bullet points, headers, and other bullshit that has no business being on a slide.
It doesn't handle large files with lots of images well. Case in point, I have a 142MiB presentation and scrolling through the slides overview is abysmally laggy on a modern fast computer.
Changing typeface and font size/color/effect is a process hidden behind too many clicks in too many different menus. Additionally, it is impossible to do if your text is 100% non-dictionary words. You first have to add the words to your dictionary and then you can change their size. These problems are alleviated by using the Properties panel, but nobody is going to click that when they are just using the Animations panel instead.
Layout spacing sucks. Inkscape got this part right. In Impress, it is difficult to get things to be perfectly identically sized and spaced.
Maybe this is a bug in Xfwm, but any animation effect aside from Appear/Disappear gets totally ignored when presenting on a second monitor, but works fine when presenting on the primary monitor.
The built in galleries are neat but are just one more example of encouraging bad slide / presentation techniques.
Trying to find any help / documentation on Impress is a terrible experience. People post vague shit or all the answers are terribly outdated. The docs reference the official manual, which is word salad broken English.
I wish there were better Free™ presentation software out there. Since there isn't, a lot of people resort to just generating a PDF and clicking through it page-by-page, which loses some of the advantages that Impress does have like easy WYSIWYG editing, a few shapes, and some animations.

OnlyOffice is closer to excel, very impressive but still not quite there. Tons of little things that will annoy you if you’re a heavy excel user.

Scripting lang is non interchangeable with office one so your VBS scripts wont work in Libre. Which is pain.
